Leftover Halloween Candy? Donate It to the Troops!

When
Oct 30th, 2020 - Nov 5th, 2020
All Day

Now through Nov. 5:
Donate Your Extra Halloween Candy to the Troops

After trick or treat is complete, what will do you with your extra Halloween candy? You could eat it, or you could send it off to the brave men and women defending our freedoms.

The Operation Gratitude Halloween Candy Give-Back Program has been connecting communities with Military and First Responder Heroes each fall since 2007. While Halloween may look a little different this year, Operation Gratitude and our incredible volunteers are committed to continuing to give back in meaningful ways.

Locally, Isle of Palms realtor Suzy Kopp is heading up the Lowcountry Operation Gratitude.  You can drop your candy at these locations:

Or, contact Suzy at suzy@suzycharlestonbeachlifehomes.com, or call 843-224-1212

Grateful Americans across the nation share a portion of their Halloween candy with Operation Gratitude, and we donate it to Deployed Troops, Veterans and First Responders with the goal of forging strong bonds between the civilian and service communities nationwide. Candy donations will be excepted through November 5, 2020.
